What happened to those two boys without a mother?

Last Spring Festival, my family went to visit my father's grave and came down from the mountain. My brother-in-law (the author's brother-in-law) saw his primary school classmate, Xiao Mingwa, whose first name was Liu Mingming. His brother-in-law said that he had not seen his classmates for nearly twenty years. This is a huge change. Xiao Mingwa is wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, a pair of black cotton trousers and a sticky hat, and she is as thin as a bone.

Xiaomingwa is the afterlife of our old village. She is about the same age as her brother-in-law, older than her sister, and probably in her thirties. Xiaomingwa's father, everyone in the village calls him Grandpa Peiyun, and Xiaomingwa has a brother named Daming Wa. When she was young, she had no mother. It is said that Grandpa Peiyun hit her daughter-in-law. The villagers said that Grandpa Pei Yun was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling when he was young.

After Grandpa Pei Yun's daughter-in-law left home, Grandpa Pei Yun transferred the violence to the big and small Mingwa. When I was a child, the faces of big and small Mingwa were often black and blue.

Big and small Mingwa went out to work before graduating from junior high school. My brother and I (the author's brother) never met them when we were children. We only heard from people in the village that Mingwa, big and small, made a lot of money outside, but she didn't send it home to Grandpa Peiyun. Grandpa Pei Yun hasn't changed much, but he has no source of income. Life is often lengthened. Big and small Mingwa have been working outside for more than ten years and have never returned to the village.

Later, Daming Wa came back first, because it was time to marry a wife. Daming Wa didn't go back to the village, but bought a house in the town where the immigrant community moved. I wonder how much it cost. Daming Wa is a very independent person. She decorates the house by herself, goes to the matchmaker by herself, goes on blind date by herself, and takes photos of the woman who goes down the mountain by herself. After everything was completed, Daming Wa returned to the village and informed Grandpa Peiyun to attend his wedding.

After Daming Wa got married, she lived in a new house in the town for half a year, and Grandpa Pei Yun also enjoyed the blessing for half a year. After half a year, Daming Wa went out to work with her daughter-in-law and locked the door when she left. Grandpa Peiyun went back to the village and lived in his earthen house.

Grandpa Pei Yun is old. Regarding the problem between father and son, Grandpa Peiyun is incapable of solving it by violence. It may be very helpless to watch Daming Wa accomplish a series of great events in her life with such a strong opinion.

Two years later, Xiao Mingwa also came back to get married. Some people speculate that Xiao Mingwa will also buy a house in town. However, on the day Xiao Mingwa came back, the fat aunt at the entrance of the village saw a young man returning to the village, and she didn't know who it was. Later, she learned that it was Xiao Mingwa from Grandpa Pei Yun's house. People in the village said that Xiao Mingwa didn't earn as much as his brother and couldn't afford a house, so he had to live in an old adobe house with his father.

At that time, Xiao Mingwa should be in her twenties. Grandpa Pei Yun asked his mother (the author's mother) to tell Xiao Mingwa about a marriage. My mother helped Grandpa Peiyun analyze it. According to Grandpa Pei Yun's family and Xiao Mingwa's own situation, she can only be a son-in-law. My mother said, if you don't want to be a son-in-law, you should buy a house first. Grandpa Pei Yun and Xiao Mingwa discussed it and decided to be the son-in-law of the house.

Mother arranged a blind date between Xiao Mingwa and one of her sister's classmates. I call her sister Lili. Sister Lili is the only child in the family. She has good family conditions, high academic qualifications and beautiful people. She has a formal job. It is because I want to talk to my son-in-law about marriage, and my boyfriend is not easy to talk about, so I decided to go on a blind date.

My mother arranged for the two of them to meet for the first time at my house. That was the first time I saw Xiao Mingwa. Xiao Mingwa is wearing a dark blue suit, her hair is shiny, her shoes are shiny, and she is tall and handsome.

I thought two people should look at each other's eyes, but I didn't expect Lily's sister didn't like Xiao Mingwa, because Xiao Mingwa's education was too low (Lily's sister graduated from college) and they had nothing in common. However, this seemingly wrong thing can't be said in person, and her mother asked Lily's mother afterwards to know.

Xiao Mingwa's first blind date failed. Later, Xiao Mingwa kissed several times in succession. Although the young man is good-looking, he can't talk to girls. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, the girls' mothers all reflected the problem to their mothers.

In fact, Xiao Mingwa's favorite is Sister Lili. He asked his mother to ask Sister Lili if she could meet again. Sister Lili may have been urged by her family and agreed to meet again without proper eyes.

Before the second meeting, my sister taught Xiao Mingwa to chat with Lily's sister. My sister also told Xiao Mingwa what Lily liked, but the second blind date failed, and Xiao Mingwa and Lily's sister had no hope. Later, Xiao Mingwa sat and chatted with us, and we helped him analyze. Xiao Mingwa can be described as a "treasure beyond the surface" in a few words, or it may be because she has been away from her hometown for a long time and is not familiar with the local customs at home. Later, Xiao Mingwa got angry.

Three years later, Xiao Mingwa came back on a blind date, but this time he still couldn't afford a house, and Grandpa Peiyun didn't have the money to support him in building a new house. Xiao Mingwa still wants to have a blind date, but people in the village wonder why Xiao Mingwa has worked for more than ten years and still saves money to buy a house and marry a wife. Why doesn't Xiao Mingwa save so much money? No one knows where Xiao Mingwa's money went.

Xiao Mingwa and Sister Lily may have a little fate. Three years later, Lily's sister still failed to make a blind date. Xiao Mingwa heard that Lily's sister was not married and wanted her mother to help arrange a meeting. Mother had to go to Lily's sister's house again and invite Lily and Xiao Mingwa to kiss again. After the first two blind dates failed, this time, it was still eye contact. Lily's parents are very happy, Grandpa Pei Yun is also very happy, and her dream lover Xiao Mingwa is even happier.

The marriage of two people was put on the agenda, and Lili's parents proposed that Xiaomingwa want a bride price of 50,000 yuan. This made Grandpa Pei Yun very embarrassed. He had no money, but people thought that even if Xiao Mingwa could not afford a house, the bride price would cost tens of thousands of dollars. As a result, Xiao Mingwa could not get 50,000 yuan.

Grandpa Pei Yun just remembered that after so many years, he hasn't asked his son where all the money has gone. Only then did people know that Xiao Mingwa, like his father when he was young, earned money by eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Xiao Mingwa came back to have a blind date with Sister Lili because she took a fancy to the wealth of Sister Lili's family, so that she could satisfy him with eating, drinking and gambling in the future. As for the "face" problem of whether to be a door-to-door son-in-law, Xiao Mingwa won't think about it, but his "wishful thinking" missed, so Xiao Mingwa and Lily are now.

Grandpa Pei Yun knew where Xiao Mingwa's money was spent, so he wanted to hit him like Xiao Mingwa did when he was a child. But as soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Mingwa punched him and scared Grandpa Peiyun. It is also from here that Grandpa Peiyun may repent, but it is too late.

From then on, no one dared to introduce Xiao Mingwa to a blind date. Xiao Mingwa disappeared in the village for several years, and no one knows where he went.

Later, Grandpa Peiyun took it hard and hanged himself in an old mud wall house. It was summer, and there were more than a dozen families living in the ravine. It was found that Grandpa Pei Yun had not gone out for several days. When I arrived at Grandpa Peiyun's house, the body was put down and smelled. He sent a telegram asking Mingwa to come back and bury Grandpa Peiyun.

This time, big and small Mingwa came back every other day. Daming Wa came back to attend the funeral with her daughter-in-law, children and family. Xiao Mingwa is wearing rags. People exclaim what happened to Xiao Mingwa in recent years. After Grandpa Peiyun's funeral, Daming Wa and her family went out to work. Only then did people find out that the relationship between the two brothers seems to be not very good, and the afterlife is the hope of the village. Moreover, there used to be such a "legend" as Big and Small Mingwa, and now the relationship between the two brothers is like this. The brotherly relationship between Big and Small Mingwa has once again successfully aroused heated discussion among the villagers and become the talk of people after dinner.

After Grandpa Peiyun's funeral, Xiao Mingwa didn't go anywhere, but still lived in a mud-walled house. I don't know what happened in these years when he disappeared. Only this time, I saw Xiao Mingwa's bony eyes, sunken eyes and dull eyes, which suddenly aged a lot. Later, when a villager passed by the earthen wall house, he heard Xiao Mingwa screaming and ran into the room and saw Xiao Mingwa lying down.

Xiaomingwa was sent to a drug rehabilitation center. After more than two years of education, she got rid of drugs and was released. Now Xiao Mingwa, like the little old men in the village, often squats and smokes with them, swearing and paying no attention to her image. When I saw a girl passing by, I wanted to touch someone else. The little old men in the village are also unhappy, because there are their daughters or granddaughters among the girls, so Xiao Mingwa is often beaten and people are not motivated.

Xiao Mingwa still lives in the old house, and everyone in that ravine has gone out to build a new house. There used to be more than a dozen families in a ravine, but now there is only one Xiao Mingwa. Fortunately, Xiao Mingwa can still farm and not starve to death, but Xiao Mingwa's spirit seems to be getting worse and worse. He often mistook one for another and loved to flirt with the good women in the village. The younger generation in the village saw him molesting a good woman and beat him up, so now people are talking about it.

Now that Daming Wa has come back from the outside to do some small business in the town, Daming Wa's daughter-in-law has given birth to another child, and the family of four has been quiet for several years. But he doesn't care if Xiao Mingwa is alive or dead. Once Xiao Mingwa was beaten by a little old man in the village and asked Da Mingwa to stop the fight. Daming Wa said it's better to kill that bastard.

Later, Aunt Li and Aunt Fat stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, saying that when the two brothers started working outside, they lived alone, worked together on the construction site, worked as coolies and saved money together. Later, Xiao Mingwa knew more people, learned more, was more tempted, didn't go to school well, and learned from Grandpa Peiyun when he was young, which was what Xiao Mingwa hated most. Daming Wa advised him several times.

Now Daming Wa has become a teaching material for parents in the village to educate their children. Daming Wa has become an inspiring role model. She has a happy little family that she built from scratch. Daming Wa runs a small business in the town, and all the uncles in the village go to the town to handle affairs. When she sees it, Daming Wa will greet her warmly. If she needs help, she will never get tired of it. Daming Wa's character is well known.

And Xiao Mingwa? If children don't obey, adults will say that if they don't obey and study hard, they will become Xiao Mingwa. Children will immediately obey and do their homework. People are afraid that any offspring in the village will become Xiao Mingwa again.
